And one more...
Walt Heyer, author of Trading My Sorrows and Perfected with Love:

"I myself was diagnosed with gender identity disorder and underwent sex change surgery.  Seven years later, I realized sex change surgery was not treatment at all.

I was misdiagnosed. I was suffering from a dissociative disorder that required talk therapy, not surgery."

A regret story reported by the media—that's rare!

ABC News Nightline, August 31, 3011

In From Man to Woman and Back Again, host Cynthia McFadden described the transgender as: 

           "One of the only people in the world to go from man to woman and back again."

Nonsense. 
"Man to woman and back again" is a frequent occurrence. Research and reporting of it are the rarities. As you can see from the emails I receive, many go through the surgery and go back again.
